A little bit too simple for me. I guess it supposed to look cool and sleek, but I don't know, something is odd about just 4 lines. What do you guys think?

It might be a fad in logo design: oversimplify everything into a few lines. I hope it goes away and I hope good designers don't follow it.

I would say that the Cisco (old: http://www.it-building.ru/insertfiles/Image/cisco-270406.jpg new: http://www.theavco.com/sites/default/files/images/Cisco_logo...) and Russian Railways (http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/1487/1111qa.jpg old: left, new: right) are too parts of this worrying pattern.

Cisco was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw this new logo.

I also don't like this fad.
